Pay2Play Corruption Strategy iPhone Game Awaiting Approval

Pay2Play is Yanki's first of three games lined up for an App Store release. The Illinois Governor trading game has been submitted to Apple for approval, with games 2 and 3 being a week from submission. Pay2Play includes "alcopops" - recently banned by the Illinois legislature from ad-supported games.

The soon-to-be App Store description of Pay2Play can be found below (from the official Yanki.jp web site)

Yanki goes to note that Pay2Play has not yet been approved. While the developer waits for Apple to approve its title, high-scores and talk-show appearances are to be made public in a future update, says Yanki.

“We at Yanki.jp are [a] lot like you. We enjoy games. So we figured why not make things that we like to play and share it with everyone,” says the developer. “Currently we are focusing on iPhone games and apps. Please enjoy them.”

A sneak peak at Jenny, who will be helping iPhone owners fly their way to greatness in “Barnstormer,” is also available on the Yanki web site. Barnstormer is one of the games currently in beta at Yanki studios. It will be submitted to Apple in the weeks to follow, according to a post.
